Aviation radio simulator PlaneEnglish now has a co-pilot: a new companion manual that provides more in-depth content so pilots can master the mic even faster.
PlaneEnglish, created by three Purdue University alumni, is an app-based aviation radio simulator to help new pilots acquire radio communication proficiency by developing advanced skills in more realistic environments. The new training manual provides a detailed breakdown of aviation radio communications for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and can be used as a guide so users can get the most out of the app. The manual offers greater detail, helpful illustrations, a glossary of phrases and aviation terms, standard radio procedures, and examples of common communication exchanges between pilots and air traffic control.
“Aviation communication is one of the biggest sources of anxiety for pilots, especially those who train at smaller airports,” said Muharrem Mane, one of the co-founders. “What our PlaneEnglish simulator has demonstrated is that learning effective radio communication is easy and actually fun if you break the process up into small steps and provide scenarios for practicing. Coupled with our new manual, PlaneEnglish not only builds up pilots’ confidence in radio communication, it helps keep our aviation community safe.”
PlaneEnglish lessons guide users through simple and complicated interactions with air traffic control on every phase of flight from taxi out, to takeoff, to airspace entrance, to approaches, to taxi in. The app recently received a $1 million SBIR Phase II award from the U.S. Air Force and AFWERX,
